It looks good but the paypal website leads to another site which is clearly not paypal. Anyone else get this crap?

well, one way to find out for sure is to go to the normal paypal site and try to log in normally.

that link looks legit....it's https://www.paypal.com. Paypal website, secured server (https)....that, and it has my cookie because my login popped up in the name box....but I suppose it's easy to read a different cookie...

anyway, I believe you can check this by forwarding it to [email protected] or something similar...it looks legit to me, though.

But like I said, just go to the normal paypal site and try to log in normally...that should tell you real quick if this is a scam or not.

Yes the website was legit but it led to another site when I clicked it, which was down. So maybe paypal already got to it before anyone can get scammed.
